Pyrenophora tritici-repentis : investigation of factors that contribute to pathogenicity

Creator:

Holman, Thomas W.

Abstract:

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the necrotrophic fungus responsible for tan spot of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Ptr causes disease on susceptible wheat cultivars through the production and secretion of host-selective toxins (HSTs). HSTs are compounds that are only known to be produced by fungi and considered to be primary determinants of...

Generation of full-length cDNA clone and functional analysis of leader proteases of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2

Creator:

Liu, Yu-Ping

Abstract:

Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant, and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these proteases play a variety of roles in the virus life cycle. In particular, the leader protease (L-Pro) of a prototype member of the Closterovirus genus, Beet yellows...
